What is the equation of exchange?
A
1/RR
B
1/MPS
C
MV=PQ=GDP
D
Excess=Actual-Required
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -…the monetarist theory is the equation of exchange, which is expressed as MV = PQ. Here M is the supply of money, and V is the velocity of turnover of money (i.e., the number of times per year that the average dollar in the money supply is spent for goods…

Detailed explanation-2: -The Equation of Exchange addresses the relationship between money and price level, and between money and nominal GDP. Y = real output, or real GDP. The equation tells us that total spending (M x V) is equal to total sales revenue (P x Y). Since (P x Y) is equal to the nominal GDP, then M x V = nominal GDP.

Detailed explanation-3: -The equation of exchange can be written MV = PY. When M, V, P, and Y are changing, then %M + %V = %P + %Y, where means “change in.”

Detailed explanation-4: -Thus PQ is the level of nominal expenditures. This equation is a rearrangement of the definition of velocity: V = PQ / M.

Detailed explanation-5: -Understanding Monetarist Theory Monetarist theory is governed by a simple formula: MV = PQ, where M is the money supply, V is the velocity (number of times per year the average dollar is spent), P is the price of goods and services and Q is the quantity of goods and services.
